On battle.net the Diablo Prime Evil Collection is on sale for $20. I don't really want to spend $70 on Diablo IV so I am considering this instead. Are the older games still worth playing?

My vote is for D2, D3 to me just wasn't a standout Diablo game at all. That being said, I was a massive D2 junkie all through highschool so my opinion is very biased here. D2 resurrected gives you a nice polished version of one of the most memorable rpg from that decade. The has aged incredibly well.

Have you checked out Path of Exile? It's a great, free game that you can go incredibly far with for free. I really love that game for it's graphics, gameplay, and character building mechanics.

+1 for PoE. Also new to the game after finishing with D4.

Only try it when you’re done with the Diablo experimenting and you want a LOT more stuff to chew on.

Unlike Diablo you can make your character exactly how you want it, with very few limiting factors (as far as I can tell)

There’s a lot in the game to keep you busy that’s for sure.
